Charlie's Coming Home - Original Writing It was a warm summer's day and Charlie had just been released from prison after serving a 3-year sentence for arson. His best friend Larry was waiting for him. He was taking Charlie to his house so he could make a start on sorting out his life. Charlie wanted to find a job and a new house. The first thing he wanted to do was go and get his car. It was a Honda S2000; it was red and had all extras. After he'd dropped his bag at Larry's he went to the job centre to see if there were any jobs going. He spotted one working in a restaurant; they were looking for someone to wash dishes. Charlie thought that would do until he could find something better. He knew he would have to tell the owners that he'd just come out of prison, but he hoped they would give him a chance. He went into the job centre and enquired about the vacancy at the restaurant. The assistant knew the owner Mr Brewer. He rang him and arranged an interview for the following day for 3.00 PM. Charlie then went to the garage where his car was stored. Larry had been taking care of it for him by turning over the engine everyday. It started first go. Then Larry arrived to take him to his house. They went inside and Larry made the tea. They watched TV for a while then sleep got the better of Charlie so he said to Larry " I'm going for an early night" Larry replied " Ok mate". As Charlie lay on the bed he thought I hope I get that job tomorrow. Tomorrow would be the start of a new life for Charlie and time to leave the past behind and maybe one day Larry would own up to starting the fire that destroyed Charlie's house. They had been friends since they were 3 years old. They had grown up living next door to each other. That was why Charlie had taken the rap for Larry as he thought of him
only see the "old" Charlie, and not the man who longed to care and provide
Charlie was innocent, he didn’t have many social experiences. Think back when the first time Charlie saw Laura’s dead body. “Why would you bring me here? I shouldn’t be here. I have to go back home. You have to tell someone about this.” His anxious shows he didn’t want to participate this mess, in part, he’s smart enough to know it would be a trouble, but he’s also full of fear. After Jasper’s persuasion, Charlie decides to help him find the real murderer. Craig Silvey gives us a huge surprise at the beginning of the book, we might think it’s a story about children’s adventure. On the contrary, as things happened, we come to realize it is not just a simple story, it’s more about a horrific thing. When Charlie run into this horrific thing, he is feared. Maybe, it’s more appropriate to
Charlie was found by the FBI, hiding and hungry in a storage closet in the basement that would normally only be accessed by maintenance workers, after being missing for 11 days. His biological mother tells interviewers that she sent Charlie to live with his father because his school grades were declining and the father wanted to home school him. Apparently the father kept very strict rules and those expectations may have opened the door to the abuse that took place.
Others may say that charlie wouldn’t have been fired from his job but i argue that he still got his job back still. Another may say that he realized he was being bullied but i argue that his friends came back around and helped him out at the end for instance”the new men who came to work there after i went a way made a nasty crack he said hey charlie i hear you're a very smart fella a real quiz kid.Say something intelligent.I felt bad but joe carp came over and grabbed him by the shirt and said leave him alone you lousy cracker or I’ll break your neck…”.

First and foremost, the scene where Uncle Charlie wakes up parallels directly to the scene of little Charlie waking up. The director makes it obvious that these two characters will be linked in some way through this use of doubles. Later in the film, we find that these two characters are closely connected but have a contrasting relationship. Their relationship was one of much love when Uncle first arrived to the family, and suddenly turned sour when little Charlie told Uncle that there was something inside him that no one knew.
